basic car question (wont start, probably the starter)
last night i jump into my car, press down on the clutch and break and i notice that the break has extra tension. its not going down all the way like it should, but the clutch is fine. i turn the ignition but i dont get any juice. the car isnt catching the battery.
the battery isnt dead because i can turn on my lights. so at first i figured it must be the starter or maybe the alternator or something like that. but how can it be the starter or the alternator if im getting an added pressure on the break petal before i even put my keys in the ignition?
10 days ago my clutch blew out on me. i wasnt able to shift gears. the next morning i tried to start my car but the ignition wouldnt catch. i was getting juice and the car was rocking but it wouldnt start. i didnt turn the ignition more than 3 times total because i didnt want to blow my starter. i had the car towed to a garage and they told me that it was the clutch and fixed the issue. i drove the car home and it worked for several days.
then this happened. i plan on taking the car back to the garage but im a little worried that this might have been caused by them turning the ignition too many times and blowing my starter, so id like to know what the problem is before i take my car some where to make sure i get better service this time.
thanks alot for taking the time to read this. its really appreciated. let me know if you know exactly what the problem is my car is having.
